1. Reactive strategies can impact safety measures negatively as the individual employees focus on the measures after the occurrence of the accident instead of working on to prevent the occurrence of such risks (Haight, 2015). Training employees are not as effective since learning can only be affected by the occurrence of the risk. Proactive determination helps to place the right measures in place thus reducing the number and magnitude of risks saving the costs of compensation and restoring damages.(354words)
